Key Features

• Black Oxide Coated Steel Shaft — The steel shaft is now finished with a tough black oxide coating instead of the previous nickel plating, providing superior durability and protection against oxidation, corrosion and the general wear and tear of regular RC maintenance. This coating dramatically extends the lifespan of the tool and keeps it looking and performing like new for longer, even with frequent use.
• Laser-Etched Size Markings — Gen 2 tools now feature crisp, laser-etched size markings that are clear, precise and impossible to miss, making it easy to grab the correct tool quickly in your workshop or toolbox. The engraving includes the MIP logo and the exact size of the nut driver, ensuring no confusion when selecting tools during maintenance or repairs.
• Colour-Coded Identification Ring — Each nut driver features a colour-coded ring that allows you to instantly distinguish one size from another at a glance, speeding up your workflow and reducing the chance of using the wrong tool size on your RC car, buggy or truck.
• Deep Socket Head Design — The deep, thin-wall socket head is able to reach nuts that are located on longer screws or in recessed areas, whilst the thin-wall construction allows the tool to fit into tight areas and awkward positions where standard sockets cannot reach. This design ensures you can access fasteners in cramped spaces without frustration.
• Compact Overall Length — The short tool length delivers improved ergonomics and control, allowing you to work with precision and confidence during everyday RC car, buggy and truck maintenance. The compact design fits comfortably in your hand and toolkit, making it portable and convenient for workshop or on-track use.
• Polycarbonate Handle Construction — The super-comfy polycarbonate handles are resilient to both hot and cold weather conditions, so they won't harm your hands or become brittle in poor weather conditions. The handles are designed for comfort during extended use and maintain their grip and feel year-round.
• Hand-Assembled Quality — Every tool is assembled by hand to ensure consistent quality and precise tolerances, reflecting MIP's commitment to uncompromising build standards that have made them the industry leader for nearly three decades.
• American Manufacturing — Manufactured and packaged 100% in the USA, ensuring quality control and supporting American manufacturing standards that enthusiasts have come to expect from the MIP brand.

Technical Performance

The MIP 7.0mm Nut Driver Wrench Gen 2 is engineered for reliability and precision in the demanding environment of RC car, buggy and truck maintenance. The tool features steel construction optimised for durability and long wear characteristics, ensuring it can handle the repetitive stress of regular fastener removal and installation without degradation. The black oxide coating on the steel shaft provides a hardened surface that resists scratches, corrosion and oxidation far better than standard finishes, protecting your investment and maintaining tool performance across seasons. The 7.0mm socket size is precisely manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a secure fit on 7.0mm nuts without any play or slippage that could lead to rounding or stripping. The deep, thin-wall socket head design is a critical engineering feature that allows access to nuts positioned on longer screws whilst the thin walls permit the tool to slide into confined spaces where standard sockets simply won't fit. The compact overall length improves ergonomics and control, reducing hand fatigue during extended maintenance sessions. The polycarbonate handle material is selected for its resilience across temperature ranges and its comfort characteristics, making the tool suitable for use in any UK workshop or outdoor track environment. This is a tool that performs consistently in the hands of world champions and weekend enthusiasts alike.
